New partnership between 360training.com and QTS makes recordkeeping easier.

Austin, TX (PRWEB)May 01, 2014

360training.com and Quality Training Systems (QTS) announced today seamless record-sharing between 360training.com courses and the Quality Training Database™ (QTD). Now clients can easily upload 360training.com records to their QTD data file. Additionally, users of the QTD Employee Portal (EMP) can now make selected 360training.com courses available to their operators directly via the EMP dashboard.

QTS simplifies the record-keeping process by eliminating the need to manually enter records of completed 360training.com courses. LMS360 can now export client records perfectly formatted for direct import to QTD using QTD’s import-export feature. The records automatically populate the training records in QTD and are thus available for inclusion in all the QTD reports.

As an added bonus, 360training.com courses can be deployed directly to employees via the EMP dashboard. EMP is a browser-based add-on module for QTD that allows trainers to deploy SCORM (version 1.2) -compliant training student evaluations. EMP tests directly to the employees’ computers; employees complete the training online and the results populate the training records in QTD.

By working together, QTS and 360training.com have simplified the workload for our mutual customers by eliminating the need for manual data entry and associated errors.
